Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Roll out your all-butter pie dough and place it into a pie dish. Blind bake for 15–20 minutes until set and golden.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine melted unsalted butter and Grade B maple syrup, whisking until well mixed. Add light brown sugar, cornmeal, and kosher salt, mixing until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until blended. Incorporate this into the maple mixture, stirring gently until uniform.
  5. Place the pie crust on a baking sheet. Brush edges with a beaten egg. Pour the filling into the crust evenly.
  6. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour until edges puff and center jiggles slightly.
  7. Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for 4 to 6 hours. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt before serving.
